This is the 2nd book I've read by this author and I'm not at all disappointed. A beautiful story about a second chance at love. Loved it

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

the writing was childish and not engaging.

emotional

I love how we got to see back on them falling in love 15 years ago instead of just focusing on the present. It gave the characters and the book in general way more depth.
And the end did in fact have me sobbing. I wish I could continue read about them.

Around the 60% mark I thought I would give it a 3.5-4 stars but the ending was so, special? Emotional? I don’t know how to explain it except I really liked this book.
